Golf has a points system that gives 100 points to winners; 70 points to 2nd, 60 points to 3rd, and on down the line. It determines money winners for segments of the year, not the whole season. The point is that their points system rewards winners better than NASCARs. Golf and NASCAR have a lot of similarities for its fans. 1. They put all of their competitors on the track/course at the same time. There’s no flipping through the channels to see your favorite team, and no blackouts preventing you from seeing them at all. 2. The course/track isn’t the same every time they play/race. It’s different every week. Sure there are similar tracks and courses, but it’s not the same field/court every week like in most sports. 3. You’ve got to qualify every week to play. NASCAR has obviously bastardized this process heavily to keep the major players in the field, but it still exists and has some relevance. Your starting position and pit pick can have a profound effect on your race that day. Golf on the other hand; if you don’t make the cut on Friday, you don’t play the weekend, even if your name is Tiger. 4. There’s rarely a runaway ending, even when Tiger is playing. If you didn’t watch the 18th hole, you don’t know who won. 3 and 4 shot leads can disappear in one hole. NASCAR is better at this. If you didn’t see the last lap, you have no idea that Reed Sorenson ran out of gas and let a 6 second lead go up in fumes. I watch both, sometimes picture in picture. Your comments on that are welcome.
